1But say the things which fit sound doctrine, 2that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance, 3and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good, 4that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their children, 5to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.
6Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded. 7In all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility, 8and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned, that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
9Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters and to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting, 10not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things. 11For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 12instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; 13looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good works.
15Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
1Tu autem loquere quæ decent sanam doctrinam: 2senes ut sobrii sint, pudici, prudentes, sani in fide, in dilectione, in patientia: 3anus similiter in habitu sancto, non criminatrices, non multo vino servientes, bene docentes: 4ut prudentiam doceant adolescentulas, ut viros suos ament, filios suos diligant, 5prudentes, castas, sobrias, domus curam habentes, benignas, subditas viris suis, ut non blasphemetur verbum Dei. 6Juvenes similiter hortare ut sobrii sint. 7In omnibus teipsum præbe exemplum bonorum operum, in doctrina, in integritate, in gravitate, 8verbum sanum, irreprehensibile: ut is qui ex adverso est, vereatur, nihil habens malum dicere de nobis. 9Servos dominis suis subditos esse, in omnibus placentes, non contradicentes, 10non fraudantes, sed in omnibus fidem bonam ostendentes: ut doctrinam Salvatoris nostri Dei ornent in omnibus. 11Apparuit enim gratia Dei Salvatoris nostri omnibus hominibus, 12erudiens nos, ut abnegantes impietatem, et sæcularia desideria, sobrie, et juste, et pie vivamus in hoc sæculo, 13exspectantes beatam spem, et adventum gloriæ magni Dei, et Salvatoris nostri Jesu Christi: 14qui dedit semetipsum pro nobis, ut nos redimeret ab omni iniquitate, et mundaret sibi populum acceptabilem, sectatorem bonorum operum. 15Hæc loquere, et exhortare, et argue cum omni imperio. Nemo te contemnat.
